Later, after Konstantin was chosen as the new paladin, the Order also held a simple but solemn ceremony.
The Bishop personally handed over a reconstructed sword to Konstantin, who was received by the Pope in a private audience.
Everyone was proud and envious, and I was very impressed, just the day after the ceremony, Konstantin did not come to the Order, he became a paladin, he would not come to the Order, but directly served the Pope.
The next day at the training ground of the Knights, everyone was summoned.
In order to welcome the arrival of a new knight cadet.
At that time, we thought it was strange that the Knights usually only select new members every few years, and the Knights maintain a certain number of members, and do not select too many students, but it is clear that that year is not the usual arrival of new students.
What makes us feel even more strange is that this time, only a new student came, and it was brought by the two cardinals themselves.
Usually such a grand ceremony, several cardinals come forward to bring new cadets to arrive, and the only possibility is that this new cadet is the son of a paladin who has just died, and in order to inherit his father's glory, he has been trained to become a knight.
Out of respect for the dead paladins, the Cardinal will come forward.
But that was clearly not the case that time.
The new member who came that time was not a purebred white man.
In other words, he looked like an Asian at all, and because I liked Western culture since I was a child, and I studied Chinese with the Eastern martial arts teacher in the church, I overheard him say a word of Chinese. ” He suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei: "Guess what he said" "I can guess it."
Xiao Lei rolled his eyes.
"What he said at the time was: It seems that this bright world is not much stronger than the dark world."
Ye Buqun shook his head and said, "I'm the only one who heard this.
I heard it because I was trying to learn Chinese at the time.
Later, the bishop announced that he wanted to evaluate this man, and his name was Dupont.
The cardinal said that the Pope meant that he wanted him to enter the Order and become an honorable knight. ” Speaking out at the time, almost all the Knights' Instructors rejected it.
The Bishop of the Order of Knights was very opposed and demanded that he go to His Majesty the Pope immediately.
You may not know that even if the Pope orders it, you can't just stuff people into the Order.
Because for thousands of years, the Order of Knights has been a complete reading system, and anyone who wants to enter the Order must pass a rigorous selection and assessment, otherwise, even the Pope cannot arbitrarily order anyone to grant membership to the Order.
Even the descendants of the paladins cannot directly enter the Knights, and if they fail the assessment, they will be eliminated.
At that time, everyone was against it, and that DuPont was standing next to him, his expression was calm, not fluctuating at all, but I could feel that his gaze was a little disdainful, even sneering. ” He suddenly glanced at Xiao Lei and said with a smile: "To be honest, when I saw you for the first time, I really felt that the way you laughed looked very much like that guy."
You probably should be the same kind of people. ” "And then," Xiao Lei anxiously wanted to know what was going on.
Then the cardinal who brought him with him said that the Pope did not want to interfere in the internal affairs of the Order, but only as a recommender, and the Order could evaluate and select this person on its own.
Just like other cadets, they can be examined, and only after passing all aspects can they be qualified as members of the Order. ” "Then, he will be tested" Ye Buqun recalled for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Now I can say fairly, that time was not an assessment at all, it was simply a malicious difficulty, it seems that the instructors of the Knights are unwilling to let a person of other races enter the Knights, and deliberately raised the standards almost dozens of times, I must say that at that time, I had already passed the assessment a few years ago and became a knight student of the Knights."
But if I had been asked to take that kind of assessment again, even if my strength at that time had increased tenfold, I would never have been able to pass. ” "The first test is willpower.
Originally, it was going to be a two-part of courage and perseverance, but the guy passed it quickly.
The Knights' assessment is to invite a magician to perform hallucinatory magic on him, to make him feel fear, and to conjure up scenes of fear in his mind.
I remember that when I was first assessed, I was hypnotized, as if I saw more than a dozen huge monster snakes attacking me around me, and then biting me" Ye Buqun sighed: "I held on for five minutes.
Only then did he faint.
I must tell you, the hallucinations are very realistic, including the feeling of pain, when I was tested, I could clearly feel my body being bitten by a snake, the sharp pain that pierced the heart, the pain was very intense and real."
"I don't know what the DuPont willpower test was at that time.
But I remember that in the beginning, it was very difficult to hypnotize him.
The magician in the Knights couldn't hypnotize him at all, because his willpower was too strong.
The magician at the beginning, instead of being able to hypnotize him, was devoured by the magic himself, fell into the hallucinations he had arranged, and ran away crazy on the spot.
Later, it is said that it took a week of sleep before waking up.
Later, the two magicians in the knights were changed, but there was no way.
If, according to the convention, his willpower was strong enough to resist the illusionary magic of the magician, then there was no need for him to take another test.
However, because of the selfishness of the Knights, they insisted on the assessment, and finally replaced a magician of the highest level of the Knights.
And the cardinal who brought him with him also pulled him aside and said a few words, which successfully hypnotized him.
I believe that it should be him who voluntarily gave up the resistance of willpower.
Otherwise, I suspect that the high-ranking magician would not have been able to hypnotize him.
But then, almost everyone was shocked, because instead of crying, not being afraid, he kept laughing from beginning to end, and he laughed very happily, as if he had not seen some terrible scene in the environment, as if he had not felt any pain at all, as if he was watching some funny movie At that time, the whole training ground was silent, and everyone looked at him as if they were monsters.
He was the only one on the field who closed his eyes and laughed vigorously.

In the end, the bishop of the Knights couldn't stand it anymore and signaled that the magician could stop.
And then, undisputedly, he passed that test.
And he actually said another word" "What did he say" "He said thank you to the magician, I have never had such a pleasant dream."
Ye Buqun's expression was a little helpless.
"And then" Xiao Lei was silent for a few seconds, and then asked again.
"Then it's time for the basic physical assessment.
Generally speaking, for new Selectors, the Knights' Order's low-ranking knights will conduct basic tests on Selectors such as agility, strength, speed, etc.
If there is no foundation in martial arts, a physical examination is conducted.
And for those selectors of knightly families, it is to let a low-level knight fight him, of course, it is not a real fight, but it is like a master teaching a disciple to feed tricks, or a low-level knight draws a sword, and the selector defends.
Or the other way around.
As long as the knight approves of the talent of the selector and all aspects of the qualifications, it is considered to be passed.
Surprisingly, the guy very firmly refused the medical examination, and the cardinal, too, said that he did not have to have a physical examination.
Just ask a knight to come down and test him.
If he can pass the knight's examination, then there is no need for a physical examination.
As a result, in the shock of the results of the willpower test, the instructors of the Knights did some tricks again, and the next test was not a low-level knight, but a very strong knight."
"No need to ask, according to the tone of your voice, he must have passed again.
The knight you said was very strong to assess him, how strong is it?"
"I don't know."
Ye Buqun smiled bitterly: "I haven't fought with him."
But he's really strong, there's no doubt about it."
"Why" Xiao Lei frowned.
And it was not Ye Buqun who answered him, but an old voice behind him who said loudly: "Because I can prove it" As he spoke, Konstantin walked out of the room, and in the darkness of the night, his expression was solemn and his eyes were a little gloomy.
"You're out too," Ye Buqun smiled.
"You guys are fighting so noisily outside, how can I sleep" Konstantin seemed a little distracted, sat next to the two, and glanced at Xiao Lei: "Why did you suddenly come and ask about that Dupont" "I'll tell you later, but now can you tell him about the assessment that day?"
"I can't say because I wasn't there that day."
Konstantin's answer surprised Ray a little.
But then he changed his words: "I'm not here, but I can tell you something you want to know." ” He suddenly reached out and unbuttoned his shirt, revealing a two-finger-wide wound on the left side of his chest, which was obviously stabbed by a sword, and it seemed to be many years old, but it was obviously very badly injured back then, so it still looks shocking now "The knight who was assessed at that time was a high-ranking knight, and just a month before he was assessed, I had a competition with him, which was to compete for the qualification of the paladin, and we defeated our respective opponents before I was the last two candidates, and in the end only the two of us were left to fight.
I remember very clearly, in that match with him, I fought very hard, this scar on my chest, he gave it to me, fortunately it was a few centimeters off, otherwise, if I had been stabbed directly in the heart, I would have died, and then I fought with him for three hours before I barely defeated him.
But I was lucky because he was a little bit injured in the last match and never recovered, so I was able to win against him.
To be fair, if he had been in good condition, I might not have won. ” Xiao Lei took a deep breath and looked carefully at the scar on Konstantin's chest: "You just won that knight to become a paladin" "Yes" "Oh my God."
Xiao Lei smiled bitterly: "Then doesn't it mean that that knight, in fact, also has the strength close to the Holy Knight, the Knight Order actually uses a person with the strength of a Holy Knight to assess a new student to cheat and do this, it's too outrageous."
"In order to maintain the bloodline of the Knights, it is normal to use some means."
Ye Buqun interjected and said: "But the strange thing is that at that time, the knight was down, and the cardinal did not object.
I think about it now, at that time, he knew the strength of the knight, but he didn't object, there may be two reasons.
First, he personally did not want to see a man of another race enter the Order.
It was only because of the Pope's order that he came to fill the scene.
So deliberately acquiesced in the Knights' cheating.
Second, he and he already knew the strength of that Dupont, and they had nothing to fear."
"And then" Then Dupont chose to attack and let the knight defend.
Then, under the gaze of dozens of pairs of eyes around him, he made a move, I must say, I didn't even see his movements clearly, when I saw a figure shake, as if he had been standing there all the time, but the knight didn't even have time to react, and his face had been cut by him with his sword Everyone was stunned.
Because even though everyone thought that he might have some strength, but one move injured the knight, and stabbed him in the face, it was simply a humiliation, and as a result, the knight was furious, and in anger, he completely ignored the assessment and other things, and the two of them actually fought with real knives and guns in the field The two cardinals were also stunned, as if they wanted to stop it, but the two of them fought fiercely, and they refused to separate at all, and it was only about five minutes old that the winner was distinguished, and the knight was angry, and he had already used his true strength, and he actually used the Holy Light Cross Sword at that time, everyone thought that that Dupont was going to die this time, and then" "And then what," Xiao Lei asked immediately.
"Then that knight was killed by him" Ye Buqun stared at Xiao Lei's eyes, he smiled a little bitterly: "Do you know, he only used a sword, and a sword pierced the knight's throat Moreover, his sword broke through the knight's Holy Light Cross Slash head-on, and then passed through his sword qi, and directly hit the throat with a sword that was as fast as light" Taking a breath, he added: "What he used is the simplest and most basic action I used just now, a stabbing action in swordsmanship." ” Xiao Lei finally changed color: "You said that it only took him a few minutes to kill an opponent with paladin-level strength with one sword."
Konstantin suddenly smiled bitterly on the side: "I fought with that knight for more than two hours before I barely won.
That DuPont, it only took a few minutes. ” Ye Buqun said: "Later, the scene was chaotic, several knights jumped off the field at the same time, and they all went to rescue the knight, but it was too late, and some people attacked him in anger, but no one could resist him, and he knocked down several knights in a moment with a sword, and then jumped to the side of the cardinal."
At this time, the cardinal finally calmed down from the shock, opened his mouth and shouted orders, taking control of the scene.

Subsequently, we, the young cadets, were taken out of the training ground.
When I left, it was still chaotic.
It seems that the cardinal wants to take that Dupont with him.
But a group of Knights surrounded them, and if they didn't let them go, it almost caused a mutiny, because I had already left, so I didn't see what happened with my own eyes, and afterwards, I learned from other sources that that DuPont still left alive and was not left behind by the Knights.
And what happened that day, there are various versions, there are several different versions, some say that the cardinal ordered to stop the Knights from taking action and forcibly took the Dupont.
Some people also said that it was Dupont who shot alone, defeated more than a dozen high-ranking knights of the Knights, and then walked away, of course, I can't be sure what the truth of the matter is.
However, this incident became a great disgrace to the Order, and after that everyone was forbidden to mention the name of the man, as well as the events of that day. ” Xiao Lei was stunned for a few seconds, and couldn't help but say loudly: "This is too bizarre, right, a little boy of a few years old, how can he have the ability to easily kill an opponent with the strength of a paladin, and it is also a head-to-head fair fight, and he can also knock down several knights at once, is it that your knights are all paper-paste?"
Ye Buqun's face was a little ugly: "Who said that he was only a few years old, I was a full ten years old, and he looked like although there is a difference in the development time between Easterners and Westerners, but he looks at least four or five years older than me" Xiao Lei really changed color at this time: "What do you say is bigger than you" Ye Buqun nodded: "I am thirty-five years old this Chinese New Year's Eve, then, that DuPont should be about forty years old now." ” "Impossible" Xiao Lei immediately stood up and said suspiciously: "Aren't we talking about the same person?"
He immediately took out a piece of paper from his bosom, and it was from Lei Roar that he got a copy of Simon's information with a photo on it.
"Look if it's him."
Ye Buqun only glanced at it, and immediately affirmed: "It's him."
He always has a very weird smile on the corner of his mouth, and this look of his, I will never forget it for the rest of my life. ” To be continued:
